[quote=Anonymous]It is based on Greek myth where young teens are sacrificed to the Minotaur. By the third book you have guerilla warfare instigated by adults fought by young people. The reality is that we have kids fighting in Syria, Egypt, Uganda and many other places today. Young men of similar ages also enlisted in the Civil War and WWI and II. Do you hide the news, do you hide history? I agree it is not fine literature, but I think it gives a lot of opportunities to think about complex issues and encourage you as a parent to read it with your child. Frankly, that may actually drive them away from a book more quickly than banning it. [/quote]
